Hip-hop legend Mister Cee — who DJed for Big Daddy Kane and helped discover Notorious B.I.G. — resigned from New York City's Hot 97 Wednesday (September 11) after more than 20 years at the station. His departure followed the discovery of a video that purports to show him soliciting sex from a New York City prostitute — at least the third time that Mister Cee has been connected to prostitution, and the second time this year. In May, Mister Cee went on Hot 97's morning show to discuss a recent arrest for soliciting a prostitute. In June 2011 he was sentenced to three months of counseling after pleading guilty to the same offense.

Hot 97's senior vice president and general manager Alexandra Cameron issued the following statement on Mister Cee's departure:

“Due to some personal circumstances that have become public, after 20 years of service, Mr Cee has chosen to resign. We feel that this is in the best interest of both HOT 97 and Cee’s personal well-being. While we do not endorse the alleged activities, he is clearly facing a personal dilemma that is for him and only him to comment on. We are saddened by his departure; his contributions here at HOT 97 were great and we know him as a friend, a caring individual and significant hip hop advocate. We wish Mr Cee the best and will always consider him a family member of HOT 97.

Moments ago, he officially signed off, on the air and will finish out his last show today on September 11, 2013, an already sad day for New York City.”

What do you think, Instincters? Was this the right move for Mister Cee? Sad that he's making such unceremonious exit after more than twenty years on the air?
